RIFLED BULLET-SHELL FOR SHOTGUNS.

SPECIFICATION foimng part of Letters Patent No. 672,824, dated April 23, 1901.

Application filed November 19, 1900. Serial No. 37,007. (No model.)

To (LIZ 'li/71,0771, it 'nt/ty con/corn.:

e it known that I, PAUL OTTO ELTnmcn, aeitizen of the United States of America, and a residentof Chicago, in the county of Cook 5 and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Riiied Bullet-Shells for Shotguns, of which the following is a specification.

The main object of my invention is to proio vide a shell suitable to be fed to the barrel from the magazine of a repeating shotgun and containing a rilied barrel adapted to receive and discharge a bullet-cartridge.

The particular objects of the different parts l5 with which l put my invention into practice will be understood from the following description 'with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a partly-sectional view of a Winzo chester repeating shotgun, showing one of my shells in the magazine and another of said shells on the carrier in proper position to be conveyed to the barrel of the gun. Fig. E3 is a plan of one of my improved shells. Fig. 3

is a longitudinal central section .of same. Fig. 4 is an enlarged section on the line 4 .4of Fig. 23. Fig. 5 is an enlarged end View of said shell.

The shell shown has the outer easiugl, hav- 3,0 ing slots :Z therein and having' the parts between the slots bulging slightly, as at 3 in Figs. l and 2. A barrel 5 is rigidly secured in the casing l by means of the' bushings 6 and 7 and is provided with the interior riding 8. 'lhe base of the barrel has a recess i) therein for receiving the bullet-cartridge 10. 'lhe barrel 5 is made [lush with the casing I at each end,so as to provide an exterior form similar to that oi' the stainlard shotgun-shells- 4o The riiiing will be made of lower pitch or quicker twist than that in the ordinary riliebarrel.

The operation of the device is as follows: The shells are placed in the'x'nagazinell ol' the shotgun in the usual manner. When the slide-handle12 is drawn back, one of the shells is moved upon the carrier 13, as shown in Fig. l. When the slide-handle is again moved forward, this shell is carried to the barrel 14 5o and forced into said barrel by means of the breech-lock l5 in the usual manner. It is plain that these shells may be used as often as desired, it being necessary merely to reload the same with a new bullet-cartridge.

It will be understood that my improved shells may be used inv other breecl1-loading shotguns which are not of the repeating-gun type; but said shells are particularly designed for use in a repeating shotgun.

I make no claim to the construction of the shotgun shown, since the same is of a wellknown type and is shown merely to illustrate the use of my shells. 4

It will be understood that some of the minor details of construction in the-shell shown may be altered withontdeparting from the spirit of my invention. I therefore do not confine myself to such details except as hereinafter limited in the claims. v

\Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Lett ers Patent, isl l.. A shell for Shotguns, having rigidly secured therein a ri fied barrel, adapted to receive and discharge a bullet-cartridge, substantially as specified.

2. A shell for shotguns, having rigidly secured therein a rifled barrel, adapted to rcceive and discharge a bullet'.-cartridge, said j parts being of suitable form to permit the use of said shell in series with others in a magazine-shotgun, substantially as specified. A shell for shotguns having rigidly secured therein a rilled barrel adapted to receive and discharge a bniiet-cartridge, said shell having an outer resilient part adapted to bear against the inner walls of a shotgunbarrel, and said parts being of suitable construction to permit the use oi said shell in series with others in a magazine-shotgun, substantially as specified. 9o

el. A shell forshotguns comprising the outer slotted casing having the resilient bulging part between the slots, and the rified barrel rigidly secured in said casing, for the purpose specified. 5. Ashell forshotguns comprising theouter slotted casing having the resilient bulging parts between thel slots, and a barrel rigidly secured in said casing,J for the purpose speeilied.

Signed at Chicago, Illinois, this 17th day of November, 1900. v

PAUL OTTO ELTERICII.
